I found the extra precision to be especially helpful when scrubbing through video frame-by-frame in Final Cut Pro, and when placing or moving nodes in DaVinci Resolve. Having a larger ball provides a larger surface area for precise control of the mouse pointer. Aside from the color, the same ball is used in the Expert Pro and the Slimblade. At the center of both of these options is a 2" weighted ball, larger and heavier than the ball used for any of the Orbit models. The FavoritesĪfter testing all the Kensington Trackball models I was given, with my MacBook Pro and iMac, two stood out as my favorites for video editing: the Expert Pro and the Slimblade. But never fear! Precise physical interfaces exist outside the upper echelons of large-budget video production. But for the majority of we mere mortals, a keyboard and mouse is usually what we are afforded. Often, at the highest levels of production, dedicated interface hardware takes the place of the standard keyboard and mouse. NLE (Non-Linear Editing) software is chock-full of keyboard shortcuts and tools that require very fine control. "Desktop computing is, for the moment, still thriving in the world of professional content creation."ĭespite often being a completely “in the box” operation, where everything takes place inside the computer, video editing and post production are very much tactile practices.
